Hi,
Edward: Your script doesn't work, as you are only opening the file in read mode. Read/write doesn't do want you want either.
{Blushes} Thanks for the correction Jon.
If you want a quick'n'easy one liner, then use -i:
-i[extension] edit <> files in place (makes backup if extension supplied)
Your one liner would look like:
perl -ne 'print unless /perl/' -ibak FILENAME
Glad I learnt yet another One-Liner.
